Sang

Famous quotes containing the word sang:

““Money is good and a girl might be better,
No matter what happens and who takes the fall,
But a good strong cause”Mthe rope gave a jerk there,
No more sang he, for his throat was too small;
But he kicked before he died,
He did it out of pride.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I sang as one
Who on a tilting deck sings
To keep men’s courage up, though the wake hangs
That shall cut off their sun.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

“Your beauty can but leave among us
Vague memories, nothing but memories.
A young man when the old men are done talking
Will say to an old man, “Tell me of that lady
The poet stubborn with his passion sang us
When age might well have chilled his blood.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
